Nowhere in the second article is there any "infamous" statement that a coder will only code something if he "has a need for it personally".
What you'll find is a statement that "A feature will be implemented if and only if there is a developer who wants to implement it, regardless of the number of votes it's recieved"
So if you believe that the developers of Gnome are hired from you or anybody else then you believe wrong.
If you believe that democracy is to be able to force an individual to work in order to build something that the majority likes no matter what he thinks then you believe wrong.
